    I guess they just assume gas masks aren't needed anymore so beards are ok now

      They make a paste that you can put in your beard that seals a gas mask. It’s gross as shit though.

      If I was ever caught in an actual gas attack rather than cs I’d rather just die then put my mask on and suffer chemical burns to the rest of my body and then die in a hospital.

        But nerve agents don't cause chemical burns and if you had the full gimp suit on a blister agent isn't going to burn you.

        If you go mask off on mustard gas etc. you have a good good chance of just getting chemical burns in your lungs and not dying for several days.

    Some units are allowed to have beards for operations. There are also permanent shaving profiles (even for whites) for religious and health reasons. A guy with a beard is like not even surprising anymore.

    The fact that he also is holding an AK is indicative of him being in a special unit where they actually train on enemy weapons.

      From his helmet patch it looks like he is 4th ID.

      A shaving profile is different from a religious accommodation. Shaving profiles require you to keep facial hair trimmed to a 1/4 inch I believe. He likely has a full religious accommodation. Which if he has one allowing compliance with AR670-1 then I think it’s 2 inches from the chin, if it waived 670-1 then it’s as long as he wants.

        it is 2 inches, but you can stretch it to 3 during a "religious" month that prevents you from trimming, i always did that in april and october

    I remember when i was in the Bundeswehr, those that had a beard on our first day we reported were allowed to keep them trimmed neatly, those who had stubble or were clean shaven had to keep that up.
    Basically you were not allowed to look unshaven, as in no stubble.
    Due to illness i had to redo a section of my basic training and in this second training run there was someone who was allowed a stubble (shortest clipper setting) because every time he wet shaved he got a lot of ingrown hairs and inflammation ect, his hair follices were fricked or something.

    Someone told him that instead of using one of those Gilette 5 blade razors, he should try a safety razor, because "the skin is irritated too much by the 5 blades, it's like shaving 5 times over the same spot, the safety razor is way better bro trust me"
    This guy started shaving and was soon screaming bloody murder because he basically cut half his face off.
    Doctor said he had a weird and rare condition where basically as soon as you start growing hair, your skin starts to grow upwards along the hair as way for like a mm, and every time you shave you basically cut into this skin.

    If i'm being honest though it looks very sloopy having like 90 percent of people shaven and then the others with various states of facial hair growth, especially now that more muzzies have joined and in my opinion facial hair should be disallowed, to keep a clean and uniform look.
    Most zoomers are so low t anyway that they can't grow a proper beard anyway.

    I swear to god this "gas mask" thing for beards is the ultimate homosexual fuddlore. Beards in the navy were allowed until Reagan, well after toxic gas weapons were invented.

    I have terrible folliculitis and have to take antibiotics if I want to properly shave.
    I was offered a no shave chit by my old CO but I told him I'd just deal with it.

    Shaving agony is the one thing I sympathize with nigs on tbh. I thought it was bullshit until I got hospitalized for a lymphatic infection from shaving.
